In this week’s challenge over at AAA Cards, we’re set the task of using just one ninth of the card for our elements. Which ninth you use is up to you, as is the size of the card. I chose a dog as my favourite animal and worked back from there to get the right size card to fit into my ninth. Ok, it overlapped a little, but the essence is certainly there!

I masked and then stamped the wood grain to fill my ninth of the card front and then outlined it to emphasise the edges a little more. I stamped the dog and coloured with ProMarkers before fussy cutting it out and mounting on foam pads.
